Recently, making expedition to the North-East Asia, the group of the anthropologists from Kazakhstan found the remnants

of the old lost civilization. Among all findings, there were books written by unknown author, probably, he or she belonged to that lost civilization. Paradoxically, these found books were even more valuable than all other observed stuff like utensils and jewelry because after analyzing these books, the linguistic anthropologist were able to describe the language of that society. As it was found out later, the mane of the land was Stargazerstan, and the citizens were called stargazers. As a result, through given conclusions by the specialists, we can infer further things like the location and the economy, the values and cultural development of Stargazerstan. Defining the geographical position of Stargazerstan, it is useful to refer to following statement made by the linguists. Stargazers had three words for terrain, denoting absolutely flat, rolling, and slightly hilly. One might conclude that the locality of stargazers was represented by different kinds of surfaces. They could see not only the steppe but also the hills in another place of land. This land must have been large enough because otherwise, it would be impossible to find such different surfaces in the limited area. Also, Stargazerstan might be landlocked country. In other words, possibly, it was situated far away from ocean or any other large bodies of water because it is known that stargazers werent familiar with the word ocean. According to the linguistically conclusions, there were several words for rain and only one meaning snow. Therefore, concerning the weather of that land, it can be concluded that it rained quite often, but it snowed quite rare. This could mean that there were distinctive seasons in the year. Taking into account all geographical characteristics if the Stargazerstan, it can be inferred that stargazers resided the place where nowadays Mongolia country situates.

The economic aspect of stargazers life can be seen through the statement that there were many terms for wheat in their vocabulary that let us think that they engaged in agriculture. Particularly, we can say that they might raise the wheat because of the favorable weather conditions like frequent rains and the steppe, enriched with minerals necessary for growing plants. It is interesting point that along with such words in their vocabulary as cow, pig, calf, and sheep, there werent terms for beef, pork, veal, leather, and mutton. Possibly, they didnt kill animals in order to get sustenance or use their skin as clothes. Concerning the ruling system in that society, we can assume that Stargazerstan practiced early democracy, which is based on idea of equality. This can be inferred from the linguistically data that they never used the word leader on single form. Hence, there wasnt any person like queen or king who oppressed the citizens. Also, stargazers can be described as peaceful civilization that wasnt involved in any wars or violent conflicts. The proof for this is that they didnt know any terms indicating violent conflict or war. On the contrary, they knew twenty words for book. They, most likely, were very educated and literal people who really enjoyed reading. They found it essential for human to learn about the world around them. Since they were very smart people, they had disputes and conflicts. However, the tolerance was really appreciated, so all conflicts concluded to compromise. The acting art was already studied by the stargazers. They had nine words meaning artist, and four terms for theatre. Using other statements of linguists, we can also think about the values that this society had. The family in this society was considered to be very sacred, in which everybody plays his role: a man as a father and husband, and a woman as a wife and mother. The main aim of

creating the family was the same as it is now: giving birth to the next generation and bring them up as smart and educated citizens of the society. According to the statements that a child in Stargazerstan was seen as a wise one, and that the citizens preferred to describe the human life only up to puberty, it can be inferred that they appreciated childhood and youth. Possibly, they consider that only during these stages of life a person can earn the life experience and become smart and wise person. Although we cant determine even the approximate period in history when this civilization existed, we can conclude that the values of our contemporary society and those of Stargazers are the same. Both that lost civilization and modern nations try to get rid of violence, conflicts and discrimination, advocating the peace, tolerance and the equality of everybody.
